Madara learned the sealsl for edo tensei from Tobirama Senju

[UchihaMifune]

Madara is known to have fought Hashirama on many occasions, its been said a million times. it is a strong possibility that Tobirama often fought alonside his brother in battle as well, he was shown doing this in the admittedly non-canon Naruto Storm Generations. Even tho it isnt canon, i still think that possibility is pretty big.

Here's what I think. Madara was fighting Hashirama in one of the large scale Senju Vs Uchiha battles, Tobirama was also present at this battle and tried to use an imperfect Edo Tensei against Madara (for the sake of the arguement, this is before it was labeled a kinjutsu), even though it is an *imperfect* version i would imagine the SAME technique would have the SAME seals, they wouldn't just change when Kabuto or Orochimaru used it. Madara uses his EMS to instantly memorize these seals, just like Kakashi did to Kakuzu for his Earth jutsu. Seeing the situation he was in when he was about to disappear, his battle instinct kicked in and he remembered the seals, freeing himself from Kabuto's control!

Idk, this just makes sense to me.
Thoughts?

I don't think we will ever find out where he learned it from as it is not important.

No shit. Tobirama was alive at the same time as Madara and created the jutsu.

 

[-Carnage-]

i think it was obvious how he learned the seals to the tech...O_O

This could be possible

 

[Kages]

Yes I think so.

I was just reading the manga and wondered about it myself, this is where my thoughts ended up

Bonus points, きしもと: Madara researched it to resurrect himself at a later date. He manipulated Orochimaru's studies and kept tabs on Konoha via Zetsu. He planned the 9 tails attack, the war, the Uchiha massacre and Nagato. He genjutsu'd Kakashi into killing Rin. Extra brownie points if he smugly reveals these facts to a dying Obito with an Aizen-face.
